It was a betrayal. I don't know why but my heart ached a bit when the next picture shows a war. It's chaos. Then the next shows the man, Fragedo. His face was drawn in rage while his hands are raised. I flip the page again and saw two circles, words below it are...

Wala akong natanggap mula sa iba. Pero ang landas na tatahakin ko ay hindi pa rin malinaw, at hindi ko kayang iwasan ang mga komplikadong emosyon na tumatabig sa aking puso. Ang kabutihang ipinakita ni Alexander sa akin ay nagbigay sa akin ng pagkakataon na hindi ko naisip na mangyayari—ang pagkakataon na patunayan ang sarili ko, hindi lang sa iba kundi sa sarili ko. Pero kahit may pagkakataong iyon, nararamdaman ko pa rin ang sarili ko na nakatayo sa isang crossroads. Ano ang susunod? Ano ang gusto ko sa kabila ng trabahong ito, ng sandaling ito?
